Grasslands birds have suffered the biggest bird declines of any terrestrial biome bird type since 1970. Use google earth and other sources to find paired aerial photos of changing Bay Area landscapes, focusing on invasion of grasslands by woody vegetation. Look for sources of information about this in the library and various archives, and through networking. Create a poster illustrating grassland changes, and where possible, explaining what causes the changes. The 500.00 will be used to pay for access to historical materials and other expenses in support of the student's work.
